It's explicitly stating that I would be unhappy linking mvwm against a
specific language that has a C API (perl, lua, ruby, etc.) if we ever
chose a preferred language. Rather, I'd like to see a
language-agnostic interface which any third-party language could use
to make use of whatever API/bindings we might come up with.
We don't do this at the moment, and perllib is the only thing which
tries to bridge the interface of itself with fvwm, but it does so in a
very clumsy way; were such a common interface defined, it'd be a lot
better, IMO.
